My father recently passed away, and we’re a family of 5 – four brothers and myself, the only daughter. We’re Muslims, and I’m curious about my rightful share of his property. My brothers are saying my mother gets one share and I get only 30%. Is this accurate under Islamic law?

Under Islamic law, a daughter inherits a share equal to half of a son’s share. Your mother inherits one-eighth of the property. Therefore, your brothers’ statement is inaccurate, and you are entitled to a larger share than 30%.

Previous Article My fiancé is a US citizen and we’re planning to get married in the US. I’m curious about the typical processing time for a Spouse Visa after marriage. Also, I have a 10-year US Tourist visa – can I travel back and forth between India and the US while my Spouse Visa is being processed? Lastly, if we were to pursue a Fiancé visa instead, how long would that process take?
Next Article My land, along with two others, was being divided. The village officer, the Lekhpal, prepared a report giving all three of us access to the main road, as per our land’s use. But the SDM rejected it, claiming we didn’t all have road access, and told the Lekhpal to give us all road access (this seems ridiculous, right?). The Lekhpal then prepared another report, but this time only gave two of us access to the main road! The third person was given access through a back road, and their possession wasn’t even considered. I’m sure a higher court will give me justice, but I want to hold the corrupt SDM and Lekhpal accountable. Can I file a case under Section 219 of the IPC to teach them a lesson? If so, how, and which court should I approach – the Sessions Court, District Court, or directly the High Court? Please advise.
